This week I’m focusing on the Elegantly Said stamp set.
Using Misty Moonlight the decorative edge was stamped using the masking technique on the short sides. Next the sentiment, also stamped in Misty Moonlight was cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. After popping up the sentiment with dimensionals, a trio of the Elegant Faceted gems were added.
I’ll be making this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. Come and join me.

This week’s product is the All Squared Away bundle (158382, $45) which consists of the All Squared stamp set and the Floral Squares dies.
I stamped a few of the squares onto scrap paper using Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia. Next I die cut the flowers and also included some silver foil as well. I then glued the flowers onto the right hand side of the Whisper White layer and added it to a Polished Pink card base. On another piece of scrap, I stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink, cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles dies and popped it up with dimensionals. The final touch was adding some basic rhinestones in the centre of the flowers.
I’ll be showing how I made this at my Live on Sunday at 11am EDT along with another 2 using this bundle. Do join me live or on the replay.

This week’s product is the Celebrate with Flowers stamp set which really lends itself to clean and simple stamping. I really love the vertical greeting.
Here I used Very Vanilla as a card base and added four other colours to make a bright Happy Birthday card. The colours used are Mango Melody, Crumb Cake, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia. I also added a few of the paler purple Pastel Pearls. Just what is needed if you require a quick birthday card.
I demonstrated this card, along with the two from earlier in the week, on my 11am EDT Facebook live this morning.

Here I used Very Vanilla along with Just Jade – I like this pairing. I stamped the images in Just Jade and then trimmed the Very Vanilla layer until it “looked” right. This was then matted with a piece of Just Jade and layered onto the card base.

I decided to use the You’re a peach DSP this week, but this time only use the patterns including Balmy Blue. Here is the post showing the fifth note card and also the box to contain them.
The You’re a Peach DSP was cut in a 2 1/4 inch square and matted with a 2 3/8 inch square of Calypso Coral. The sentiment from Best Year was stamped in Calypso Coral also. If I’m going to stamp the sentiment directly on the card, I like to do that first, just in case, but use the matted DSP to help with positioning. The mat was popped up with dimensionals and a few Elegant Faceted gems were scattered around.
Finally, here is the box sized for the note cards, well actually for the note card envelopes.
First cut a piece of thick Whisper White card stock to 10 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches. Score the short side at 1 inch from each side. Score the long side at 1/2, 1 1/2, 5 1/2 and 6 1/2. If your trimmer only measures to 6, turn the card around and score at 4 inches. It will give the same result.
Remove the 1/2 inch and the 1 inch piece from the long side cutting on the score line. Repeat on the other side. Cut up the sides of the 1 inch square up to the score line, and remove a little triangle to make a tab. Burnish your score lines.
Cut your DSP. You’ll need two each of these: 5 1/4 by 3 3/4, 5 1/4 by 3/4 and 3 3/4 by 3/4 inches.
Now, add the DSP to the box starting at the end that doesn’t have the half inch flap. If your DSP has a right side up, put it upside down. Add the 3 3/4 by 3/4 on the panels next to it (also upside down) and the 5 1/4 by 3/4 next (whichever way you like since this is the bottom), followed by the next large panel right side up and finally the last skinny piece.
Make the box so that you understand how it works and then apply strong glue to the 2 tabs on the outside of the box. Working one side at a time, and making sure you’re lining things up right, press the tabs onto the inside of the box. Now you almost have a box (hopefully). Put more strong glue underneath the DSP covered panels and then wrap them around the box. If your top is too snug, shave a little off the edges. Decorate as you like; here I used the petal pink 5/8 inch organdy striped ribbon.
If all these instructions seem like greek to you, I’ll be showing all of the note cards plus the box later on at my live at 11am EDT. I will then upload it to YouTube if you’re not on Facebook.
